Dear John,
As I think you know, the large willow tree in the corner of my yard at
Ashley and Pershing blew over in the storm last Saturday.
My son and some friends cut it up on Tuesday and piled it by the readi
I was hoping to rent a truck this weekend to haul it away.
Thus you can imagine how pleasantly surprised I was to come home from
work today and found the Town of Queensbury had come by and hauled it
all away. Great service from the Town. Please thank those who were
involved for me.
Best regards,
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Austin:
Your letter of August 16, 1973 to Manuel T. Murcia, Counsel, New York .
State Department of Correctional Services , has been directed. to: this
office for reply. Please be advised that persons arrested. in the Town
of Queensb-ury may be detained, pursuant to your proposed intermunicipal
agreement with the City of Glens Falls and subject to procedures set forth
in the Criminal Procedurtt Law as they pertain to prearraigned prisoners ,
in the city jail without the issuance of a commitment order.
As regards your second question, nigher the Department of Correctional
Services nor the State Commission of Correction-which is the agency
responsible to oversee the operations of local correctional facilities
-has the authority to make such a designation. However, experiance has
shown that any advantage of such a proposal to the Town would be- mush
j
more than offset by requirements of the county ail to provide special
facilities and additional staff to process prearraigned. prisoners. This
then, could have a very d4finite potential for placing a heavy burden on
the county jail facility.
Please accept these comments as an attempt to be helpful in your deter-
mination as regards which approach to follow. We stand willing to offer
any additional advice we might be able to provide.
Very truly yours,
/s/

Dear John:
We are in receipt of the check in the amount of $291.35 which represents
this fire company's pro-rata share of the Foreign Insurance premiums
developed in the Town of Queensbury.
As we are certainly receptive to any funds that are forwarded to us, we
do, however, maintain that the formula used to divide the funds is still
on an inequitable basis. We certain hope that based on the facts and
figures developed by the Town Contract Negotiating Committee, the Town
Council will find a new and better formula when it comes to dividing these
particular funds.
Sincerely yours ,
